Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

In the end, Liu Yu spent dozens of pennies to buy a few packs of malt candies and a few kilograms of melon seeds. She had peanuts at home, so she didn't need to buy other peanuts. She could just fry some.

It was already past noon when we rushed home with the cart, and the food left in the pot was cold. Nian was still making chestnut cakes with Liu Fusheng, and Changsheng was sitting in front of the chopping board, carefully wrapping the cake embryos.

Seeing Liu Yu coming back, Changsheng turned around and smiled at Liu Yu, pointing to the stool next to him for Liu Yu to rest.

Liu Fusheng, who was sitting in front of the stove and lighting the fire, heated up the rice in the pot. Liu Yu ate grain cakes and steamed soybeans, so she was done with her lunch meal.

With a smile on her face and eyes, Nian was obviously in a good mood, and she turned over the chestnut cake with ease and ease.

Liu Yu washed the used bowl, briefly talked about going to the Yaokou market today, and finally took the malt candies and melon seeds she bought back to the stove house.

First, I grabbed a handful of melon seeds for the grandpa who was making the fire, then opened a pack of malt sugar, put a piece into his mouth, and then gave a piece to grandma who made the kang cake.

Seeing that both of Changsheng's hands were idle, he took a peek at his grandfather and grandma, and saw that one of them was concentrating on lighting the fire and the other was turning over shortbread cookies, so he quickly stuffed a candy into Changsheng's mouth.

Changsheng was concentrating on pressing the cake dough when something suddenly stuffed into his mouth. He was startled at first, and then the sweet taste was caught by his tongue. Only then did he realize that he had eaten a piece of candy, so he looked at Liu Yu with an angry look. , nor speak.

Liu Yu chuckled and put one in his mouth.

"Mmm, so sweet."

"Can the sugar not be sweet? Put the rest in the kang cabinet in my room. We haven't done anything yet, so don't let us finish it first."

There was candy in Nian's mouth, so he couldn't speak clearly. Seeing that Liu Yu was carefree and not as shy as her brother when he heard about the marriage, he couldn't help but glance over.

When Liu Yu came back from putting out the candy, Nian was in high spirits and learned what she had learned at the entrance of the village today. When she heard that Shui Sanmei had been defeated by Chang Xi and had lost face in public, Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh. laughing out loud.

Damn, this family is so lazy and so poisonous that it is time for dog to bite dog and let them kill each other.

Hearing that Chang Xi was going to resign in the next two days, Liu Yu asked curiously: "Who is this Ying brother from? If he becomes the daughter-in-law of a girl like Shui Sanmei, she will not be punished to death!"

Tian Fugui is lazy, and he doesn't do the work in the fields at home if he can. He can make delicious food and drink faster than a rabbit. Of course, these words are what Shui Sanmei usually yells at others. Although the village is scattered, it is still a village. No one's yard is covered, and good and bad words can always be spread outside.

Chang Xi is even more lazy and weak. He can lie down for ten of the twelve months in a year. The two months when he can get up and move are only during the slack time of the farm. The busier he is, the less healthy he is. Well, it can be regarded as a disease of wealth.

At present, Xiuxiu seems to be pretty decent, but Xiuxiu is a girl after all. Even if she is capable of keeping the house tidy, she can't expect much work in the fields.

In such a family, I really don’t know why this brother wants to marry.

Nian frowned and thought for a while: "I heard that Brother Ying is from Huangjia Village, which is eight or nine miles away from us. I don't know what his family is like. I heard that he is a capable man. There is only one Mom, he has been in charge of my brother and sister-in-law’s family for the past two years.”

When such a capable man entered the Tian family, he would no longer be treated like an ox or a horse. Liu Yu frowned slightly, thinking that since he could be the master of his brother and sister-in-law, he must have some intelligence in him.

Putting aside the affairs of Tian Fugui's family, Mr. Nian also talked about the engagement matter a few days ago. Liu Yu knew a little about this matter. He had also met the eldest and second sister of the uncle's family when they were engaged. Although he was young at that time , but there are also some impressions.

After going out to set up a stall for several days, Liu Yu could pick up fewer and fewer chestnuts. On the eve of their engagement, Nian asked him not to pick up chestnuts again.

Some of the chestnuts we picked up were too frozen to be used. Half the pot of cooked chestnuts was frozen, so there was no need to waste firewood.

"Sure, then I will carve some money at home and go to the mountains to collect some firewood when I have time." It's already November, and the weather is getting colder. The wind blows, and even the slightest water stains on the shady areas can be covered with a thin layer. Bing, it's just a pity that the one hundred cash stall fee paid is not due until ten days.

Inside the house, Chang Sheng was sitting on the hot Kang in the east room and carving coins with Liu Fusheng. The window lattice had long been covered with sesame poles and mud, leaving only a little space above. The light in the house was quite dim. There were many carved money coins placed in the bamboo basket.

Liu Yu lit an oil lamp and put it on the Kang table: "It doesn't take much oil, don't hurt your eyes."

It was still early in the day, so Liu Yu planned to go to the mountains to look for dead trees, which he could drag back directly to light the fire and save the time of drying.

Looking for the saw stall, the aunt came in carrying a baggage, followed by the three Liu Fan brothers.

After a few people exchanged greetings, Xu Hong opened the bag and said with a smile: "Your grandma tore the cloth and took the cotton a few days ago, and asked us to make new clothes for you and Changsheng to save for the engagement. I will go with you." The third aunt started, and your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law hurriedly made it, and the stitches have just been finished."

Then he handed Liu Fan a sand-green cotton coat: "Give it to Changsheng to try. If it's too big or too small, Jin Mei and Tianyu can change it."

He collected the remaining baggage and took Liu Yu back to his room: "Tomorrow is the official day, so you should try on some clothes quickly."

Liu Yu was pulled into a new set of clothes, and then pushed back and forth, left and right by Xu Hong.

"That's right, that's right. As expected, people depend on their clothes, and your grandma can also choose colors. This eggplant-purple lining is even more popular."

Xu Hong looked around and praised.

Liu Yu was a little embarrassed to be praised. The new clothes she was wearing were warm and thick. The fabric was also made of coarse cotton, so she felt very warm when she wore them.

"Thank you to my third aunt and my two sisters-in-law for taking care of me."

Liu Yu felt a little warm in her heart, and then thought that her grandpa and grandma had not made new clothes in the past two years, and felt a little guilty.

"Thank you, we are a family, we don't want to talk about this, just live a smooth life with Changsheng from now on." Xu Hong waved her hand and asked where the Nian family was.

Hearing Liu Yu say that he was going to talk to Hesheng Niang next door, he said: "Don't get these clothes dirty. I will also go to your aunt's house to see what the regulations are tomorrow."

After saying that, he went out and took another look at the east room. He saw that Chang Sheng's clothes fit him perfectly and he was very upright and decent, so he left with peace of mind.

Liu Yu took off her new clothes, carefully folded them and placed them on the side of the kang.

Just as he was about to go to the east room to see how Chang Sheng's new clothes looked like, Liu Shan stepped in.

I was in the main room just now, listening to my uncle's talk, and hadn't taken a closer look at Liu Shan. Now I saw that Liu Shan's originally bruised and swollen face was almost healed, except for the scar at the end of his eyebrows, which looked a little twisted. .

"Third brother, your face healed so quickly. It has only been a few days and you are almost healed."

"It's going to be good soon, but it will take about ten days." Liu Shan touched the wound at the end of his eyebrow, with an inexplicable look on his face.

"He eats a good meal every now and then these days. If it's not good, how can he be worthy of the meat, vegetables and eggs he eats?"

Liu Fan followed closely, looked at Liu Shan with a smile, and joked.
